Anemia is one type of red blood cell disorder. A lack of the mineral iron in your blood usually causes this disorder. Your body needs iron to produce the protein hemoglobin, which helps your red blood cells carry oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body.
Well, they should, because fire behavior is the result of, and is affected by, the method and the amount of heat energy transfer within the fire environment. There is a fourth method by which fire spreads that is of great concern to firefighters.
Also found in: Acronyms, Wikipedia. Heat transfer. Heat, a form of kinetic energy, is transferred in three ways: conduction, convection, and radiation. Heat transfer (also called thermal transfer) can occur only if a temperature difference exists, and then only in the direction of decreasing temperature. Beyond this, the mechanisms and laws governing each of these ways are quite different. See Conduction (heat), Convection (heat), Heat radiation. By utilizing a knowledge of the principles governing the three methods of heat transfer and by a proper selection and fabrication of materials, the designer attempts to obtain the required heat flow.
